Subject: net: convert netpoll_info.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~5285^2~49^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=433cea4d9bbb83cc848b80c51bb849a2ceb49379;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

net: convert netpoll_info.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.
